At 1GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 1GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Nidhogg 2 launched on 15 August 2017, within three weeks of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy and Sonic Mania. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 4 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
